We went to Kings Park again on 15 February (Monday) evening at about 6:30 pm to watch the sunset.  We did not see the sunset process because the sky was cloudy.  We also did not figure out where is the best location to watch the sunset.

However, I have taken photos of the sky in warm colour slowly turned into darkness at dusk.  Parts of the sky was in purple, light red, yellow and orange.

Slowly, lights from buildings, roads, freeways and vehicles were switched on.

If I am not mistaken, this is a building at Mounts Bay Road.

The Wheel of Perth was also had its light switched on.

This is the Kwinana Freeway.  The lights of cars became the light trails in my photo.  1 second of shutter speed was used, hand held and still clear.  :)

Trees and orange-coloured sky.

On that evening, actually we reached the Botanic Garden first, we parked our car not far from the Gija Jumulu Tree.

Later, we found that the sunset was not visible there, we quickly went back into our car and parked somewhere nearer to the Aboriginal Art Gallery and State War Memorial, but the sunset was also not visible there.  We just saw the orange sky, and we continued moved ourselves following the direction of the sunset.

We had entered an area with woods were surrounding us, and had taken these series of photos (trees with orange-coloured sky).  It was getting darker and darker, but we went into the park deeper and deeper.  We still saw some people jogging facing us, so I was not worried and kept on searching the sun following the orange-coloured sky, and I hoped that I could reach a place high enough to see the sunset.  I remember SiewPeng and I had climbed up a little hill in the wood or the bushland.  Suddenly, we found ourselves had reached the Botanic Garden again because we were not far from the Gija Jumulu Tree.

The sky turned dark completely, and we walked towards the direction of our car.

We spent another 45 minutes taking the night scene of Perth City at our favourite lookout point (above the Aboriginal Art Gallery). Coming up next post, Kings Park - Part 5, I will show you the night scene of Perth City.

This picture was taken when we parked our car at one of the parking areas. Checking on my compass, I found that this is the direction where the sunset happened. But I am not sure if it is accessible beyond these trees.  And we had went to other directions to search for the sunset, but did not really find it.

Later, I checked the map of King Parks by Google map, and found that the park is facing South East.  It must be good for sunrise instead.  We did not go for it, because the sunrise was too early in the summer - about 5:30 am.  Yes, next time, we will come here - Kings Park again to watch the sunrise.  :P
